1 YOUR 2018 SMART CHOICES Isaiah 60:1-5 1 Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. 3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. 4 Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side. 5 Then you shall see and become radiant, And your heart shall swell with joy; Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you. Psalms 68:1 (NKJV Strong's,) PSALM 68 The Glory of God in His Goodness to Israel To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. 1 Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him. Psalms 102:13-17 (NKJV Strong's,) 13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favour her, Yes, the set time, has come. 14 For Your servants take pleasure in her stones, And show favour to her dust. 15 So the nations shall fear the name of the Lord, And all the kings of the earth Your glory. 16 For the Lord shall build up Zion; He shall appear in His glory. 17 He shall regard the prayer of the destitute, And shall not despise their prayer. Matthew 26:41 (NKJV Strong's,) 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Luke 21:36 (NKJV Strong's,)

2 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man. 1. EMBRACE WISDOM: In all your getting get the wisdom of the Word 2. DESIRE THE SUPERNATURAL: Pray, give thanks & desire spiritual things! 3. GIVE GENEROUSLY: Sow & Tithe 4. THINK SUCCESS: Align your thinking with the Word...think Big 5. EXERCISE AUTHORITY: Speak out the Word Always... circumstances and things around you are waiting to receive you orders 6. RESIST THE DEVIL : Defy and resist every voice of the enemy, temptation & fear. 7. WALK IN LOVE: Walk in Love no matter what SCRIPTURES 1. EMBRACE WISDOM Luke 21:33 (NKJV Strong's,) 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. Proverbs 4:7-10 (NKJV Strong's,) 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. 8 Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you embrace her. 9 She will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory she will deliver to you. 10 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And the years of your life will be many. Jeremiah 15:16 (NKJV Strong's,) 16 Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts. Psalms 119:162 (NKJV Strong's,) 162 I rejoice at Your word As one who finds great treasure. Ecclesiastes 8:1 (NKJV Strong's,) 1 Who is like a wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing?

3 A man's wisdom makes his face shine, And the sternness of his face is changed. Ecclesiastes 8:1 (NLT) 1 How wonderful to be wise, to analyze and interpret things. Wisdom lights up a person s face, softening its harshness. Deuteronomy 34:9 (NKJV Strong's,) 9 Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; so the children of Israel heeded him, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses. 1. DESIRE THE SUPERNATURAL John 14:16-18 (NKJV Strong's,) 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. 1 Corinthians 14:1-2 (NKJV Strong's,) 1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. Acts 1:8 (NKJV Strong's,) 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Acts 2:14-19 (NKJV Strong's,) Peter's Sermon 14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. 18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in heaven above

4 And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. 1. GIVE GENEROUSLY 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (NKJV Strong's,) The Cheerful Giver 6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. Proverbs 19:17 (NKJV Strong's,) 17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, And He will pay back what he has given. Malachi 3:10-12 (NKJV Strong's,) 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this, Says the Lord of hosts, If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. 11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field, Says the Lord of hosts; 12 And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land, Says the Lord of hosts. 1. THINK SUCCESS Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV Strong's,) 7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. Eat and drink! he says to you, But his heart is not with you. Romans 12:2 (NKJV Strong's,) 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

5 1 Corinthians 2:16 (NKJV Strong's,) 16 For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 John 4:17 (NKJV Strong's,) The Consummation of Love 17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 1. EXERCISE AUTHORITY Luke 10:19 (NKJV Strong's,) 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Mark 16:17-18 (NKJV Strong's,) 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. Romans 5:17 (NKJV Strong's,) 17 For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) Ephesians 2:4-6 (NKJV Strong's,) 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 1. RESIST THE DEVIL James 4:7-8 (NKJV Strong's,) 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Matthew 26:41 (NKJV Strong's,) 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

6 Luke 21:36 (NKJV Strong's,) 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man. 1 Peter 5:6-9 (NKJV Strong's,) 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 1. WALK IN LOVE 1 John 3:1 (NKJV Strong's,) 1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 1 John 4:16 (NKJV Strong's,) 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:18-19 (NKJV Strong's,) 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first loved us. 1 John 4:7-11 (NKJV Strong's,) Knowing God Through Love 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
